Riteish Deshmukh confirms presence in ‘Kal Kissne Dekha’
Informs a source who had a dekko at the film, “The makers have so far kept this as a secret but the fact is that Riteish has a substantial role in the film. Of course Jackky Bhagnani is the film’s lead but Riteish too has a fantastic role of an underworld don.”
Elaborating more on Riteish’s presence in the film, she adds, “His character is that of someone who is fun loving. He keeps making on and off appearance in the film and brings in a different dimension to the narrative each time around. He is someone who is pretty money minded.”
Vashu Bhagnani, producer of ‘Kal Kissne Dekha’, too confirms around Riteish’s presence and says, “Yes, Riteish has an extended guest appearance in the film but that’s all I can say for now. Anything more would spoil the fun.”
On contacted, the man in picture - Riteish Deshmukh - was initially hesitant to talk about the film.
“I am not too sure how much should I be revealing about my role in the film. I don’t know if you can call it a special appearance or an extended guest appearance or anything of that sort. I am yet to see the final cut of how much of me is actually present in the film”, he says.
On being prodded further, he reluctantly adds, “This character was primarily conceived by my director Vivek Sharma and I primarily followed his vision. Whatever I have done in the movie, it is completely as per Vivek’s instructions. I merely copied him.” - Joginder Tuteja / Sampurn Media

Why is Sonam Kapoor trying to snub Aishwarya Rai?
The excited Sonam in an interview dug her own grave when she offended Aishwarya. Sonam had said would be endorsing the youth brand and Aishwarya would appeal to the older women. This certainly did not go down too well with the former Miss World who has been a face of L'Oreal in India for years. Ash refused to walk the red carpet with Sonam and the L'Oreal had to bow down before her demands.
L'Oreal on its part maintained that Sonam's comments had created a lot of adverse effect and to prevent any escalation of the controversy they had asked the Saawariya actress to stay out of Cannes. Well it can be easily understood on whose request Sonam missed a ticket to the Cannes. As for Sonam she surely will never let her excitement get over her mind in future.

Katrina Kaif in Karan Johar’s DOSTANA 2
Well coming to think of it, Priyanka Chopra is out of the picture, literally speaking, as she waltzed off into the sunset with Bobby Deol in DOSTANA. That brought her track to a shuddering halt, making way for dashing Abraham-Bachchan duo to chase a new actress in the money-spinner sequel.
According to sources, “Karan Johar considered casting Priyanka in Dostana 2 , but she falls in love with Bobby Deol in the first film. Karan has finally zeroed in on Katrina. He has cast Abhay Deol, Ritesh Deshmukh and Shreyas Talpade as well. There is a possibility of Shreyas and Ritesh doing the gay act for the film.
